Our tour days of Istanbul with KSG tours were absolutely fantastic. Lale was wonderful and not only did she provide historic details for each attraction and area, but also she was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions regarding the local culture. We felt very safe with Lale and she also helped us navigate the local public transit systems and also gave wonderful advice regarding activities and dining experiences. She was extremely flexible regarding our timing and schedule. We wish we could bring Lale with us everywhere we go.
Good tour
I had a very pleasant time in Istanbul with Lale while receiving her perfect tour guidance and home-like hospitality! I highly recommend Lale and her team! She led us visit the highlights of Old Town of Istanbul, introducing heritages and stories beyond the scenes, very fulfilled. I can’t imagine if there is any better way to travel in Istanbul without her being our tour guide! I wish all the best to Lale, her team, and her family!
My husband and I recently had the good fortune of experiencing Istanbul with Lale from KSG Tours. From the very first email, we were so impressed with KSG. Kagen responded to every question immediately and thoroughly. Lale, our guide, was so knowledgeable, professional, enthusiastic, and just a lovely person. By the end of our day together, we had gained so much insight on this ancient and beautiful city and felt we had a new friend in this corner of the world. We cannot recommend KSG highly enough. Thank you for an incredible experience!
